Abstract/Notes: After Rome became the capital of Italy in 1871, prestigious scientists arrived at the University of Rome. One of these scholars was the pedagogical philosopher Luigi Credaro (1860-1939). He was one of the rare Italian students of Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) when he went to Leipzig and attended the Institute for Experimental Psychology in the academic year 1887-1888. There he also followed the pedagogical seminars and considered the usefulness of establishing sections of practical pedagogy in Italian magisterium schools, which were teacher-training institutions. In 1904, he founded in Rome the Scuola Pedagogica (Pedagogical School). Through the school, Credaro proposed the concept of a scientific pedagogy based on the application of the results of experimental sciences in the educational field. We can suppose that this approach influenced the first generation of Italian scholars interested in experimental psychology in Rome, in particular Sante De Sanctis (1862-1935) and Maria Montessori (1870-1952). The article thus considers the hypothesis of the formation of a so-called Roman school of psychology, which created in the field of pedagogy a ground on which to develop its research and applications. It should be noted that Credaro devoted himself to the potential applications of experimental psychology in the context of the modernization of the liberal states of the 20th century. Specifically, scientific pedagogy constituted a field of application and development for Roman psychology. At the end, the foundation of psychology in Rome was influenced by a particular version of the Wundtian psychology promoted by his pupil Credaro.

Abstract/Notes: There are schools where educating the whole child was never a mere slogan and consequently has never gone out of fashion. Begun early in this century, these schools still thrive, providing evidence of the variety of ways in which holistic education takes form. This article takes a brief look at three such schools stemming from the thinking of, respectively, Maria Montessori, John Dewey, and Rudolf Steiner. I write from the vantage point of a teacher of young children for many years, and now a teacher of their teachers. My intention is to sketch out the connections as much as the contrasts among these three approaches and to trace their common heritage. When education has become as fragmented and meaningless for many children as life is for their families, a strong alliance is called for among holistic educators. We need to remind ourselves of the closeness of our basic beliefs even as we continue to enact them in varied and differing ways. The interconnections among these three approaches to education can themselves be traced to Johann H. Pestalozzi and Friedrich Froebel, and I will try to identify the roots these two pioneers shared...
